Thread: 24mm end mill for 16mm collet? |
12/04/2021 19:01:45 |
Boring head/bar for anything over 16mm imo I've used a boring bar at high speed to 40+mm in steel it comes off like gossamer with a fine feed and leaves a nice finish Edited By Ady1 on 12/04/2021 19:04:32 |
Thread: Laptop with a SD card slot |

It frees up a usb slot which is more flexible |

Thread: Distorted ship's hull steel panels |

I was told by someone who would know that about seven tonnes of epoxy filler is used to smooth out the hull on your average frigate, this improves performance and reduces the hull generated noise. I never knew about this but the moment I read it it made perfect sense There are also coatings on the upper decks which reduce radar reflectivity/signature edit The usas sooper destroyer had such a small radar signature it was a navigation hazard. At night other vessels thought it was a small fishing boat, not a full sized ship Edited By Ady1 on 11/04/2021 07:39:14 |

I can only talk about ships, the royal navy ones would be as light as possible compared to merchant ships so this may account for some of the panel distortion They are basically big speedboats with guns Edited By Ady1 on 10/04/2021 22:58:28 |

Current policy is the 99 caveats system so be careful before you receive money because you may be signing an agreement to repay it if one of the 99 caveats is breached

Thread: Anti seize grease on Myford spindle nose? |
07/04/2021 08:54:06 |
Just run your lathe backwards on the backgear by hand to unstick a chuck I put a block of wood braced on the bed under a chuck jaw and voilla! With a backgear lathe you never have a stuck chuck I have put a bar in the oil hole of the pulley to give me more control

Time is like a toilet roll, the older it gets the faster it goes |
Thread: The Moon |
03/04/2021 06:42:32 |
Used to take a lot of sights for navigation using anything and everything to while away the time at sea but I stopped using the moon because it's a stellar ferrari compared to anything else you look at up there |
Thread: CNC - What's the Problem? |
01/04/2021 06:53:25 |
It's a bit like with cars When cheaper self driving CNC versions become available will we all race off to buy one? How much fun is it to push a button? It's not about the destination, it's about the journey bla bla |

Re: your narrow chuck work No-one mentioned it but a recent ebay sale had the amazingly rare drummond 4jaw which was specially developed for large work bigger than the chuck itself, to fit into the gap The jaws appear to be quite small compared to the chuck body Edited By Ady1 on 30/03/2021 10:59:55 |
Thread: 1.1 kw brushed motor Torque |
30/03/2021 09:40:29 |
If you really want torque you must use backgear on a hobby lathe Quickie jobs are not a big deal but if you need it for any length of time then backgear is the only way |

Forgot about a Drummond mod which noticeably improved spindle stiffness |
Thread: Excellent Chinese Chuck |
28/03/2021 06:13:58 |
sanou seem to be flavour of the month at the moment. They supplied all the keyless chucks on Aldi Scheppach and Lidl bench drills recently Runout wasn't particularly brilliant but they are nice solid bits of kit that do the job They may have connections with and be doing work for Rohm |
Thread: Removing a J2 arbor from a drill chuck |
27/03/2021 13:51:01 |
It's problably glued in and dismantling would make the job a lot easier Track rod ends are similar and you can either use a big hammer or jury rig a joint separator |
